Lakeshore West is one of the seven train lines of the GO Transit system in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, Canada. It extends from Union Station in Toronto to Hamilton.

Only a handful of trains actually run to Hamilton, and that only takes place during rush hour. Most other weekday, weekend, and holiday trains end at Aldershot, When trains are not running on a section of the line, buses take over.

Construction is currently underway to add an extra track between Burlington and Bayview Junction. This will allow service between Hamilton and Burlington to be expanded.
